Cogill Woods Legal Services understands the stress that people endure when their world is turned upside down as a consequence of relationship breakdown. It is never easy. We aim to empathetically support our clients through these tough times with up-to-date, practical and strategic advice, and by looking for sensible, cost-effective solutions from an early stage.
Lindsay Woods handles all of our family and de facto relationship law matters. He has almost 25 years experience as a lawyer. Since 1997, when he became a Queensland Law Society accredited family law specialist, he has practiced exclusively in family law. His strongly-held belief in the value of mediation as a means of resolving family disputes motivated him to become a Law Society accredited mediator in 1997.
Cogill Woods Legal Services strives to settle disputes as quickly and amicably as possible, and we encourage our clients to consider and adopt dispute resolution processes other than court as a means of resolving their matters. However, it is inevitable that some disputes end up in court. In those situations, we provide astute representation to achieve the best possible outcome in the uncertain arena of litigation.
The practice of family and de facto relationship law encompasses a broad range of issues. The following list covers some of the areas handled by our accredited specialist family lawyer:
o divorce
o parenting disputes (including relocation, contravention and
abduction cases)
o property settlements
o pre-nuptial agreements
o binding financial agreements for de facto and married couples
o superannuation agreements
o spouse maintenance
o child support
o paternity disputes
o domestic violence
o same sex couple disputes
o third party intervention
o injunctions
o variation of court orders
o enforcement of court orders
o appeals to higher courts
Arrange a consultation to discuss any aspect of the above with Lindsay Woods.
